Hi Chris, There's a not-so-much-documented 'include' argument you can pass into /events/search:
http://api.eventful.com/rest/events/search?app_key=test_key&location=San+Diego&sort_order=popularity&include=categories Some sections you can include: categories, links, tickets, and price. A similar 'exclude' argument accepts: tz, venue, counts, performers, social. Specify more than one by concatenating with commas: http://api.eventful.com/rest/events/search?app_key=test_key&location=San+Diego&sort_order=popularity&include=categories,price Let me know if you have any questions.
